12621727297?profile=RESIZE_710xThe Literacy Council of Palm Beach County’s 33rd annual benefit was a major success, bringing in $300,000 to fund adult, child and family reading programs. A sold-out crowd of 600-plus listened to featured speaker Geraldine Brooks, a Pulitzer Prize-winning best-selling author. Brooks, known for her impeccably researched historical works, shared her journey from journalist to novelist, which includes a novel about a racehorse.
